Live Event & Wedding Artist

Hello - Thanks for stopping by serendipity- perhaps?...
I've been painting live weddings & events for 12 years. I didn't invent the new trend, but have enjoyed riding the wave of it's popularity. Typically, I will arrive several hours before your event start time, so that your guests arrive to a beautiful freshly painted canvas. Guests love to watch the scene develop and progress into a beautiful painting throughout your night capturing the beauty and joy of your special day. It's so much fun to interact with your guests and together we will create a one of a kind gorgeous canvas for you to enjoy for the rest of your lives!
I'm a wife, mother, rescue dog mom of 3, loyal friend, freelance artist & art teacher. I'm classically trained, have won several artistic merit awards, including a painting which is hung in my local mayors office and currently reside in Southern California. I possess a Single Subject teaching degree in Art and was blessed to travel a semester abroad at the Royal College of Art in London UK - what a dream!
I began art as a young child, my father was a creative from NY and worked in old TV shows like The Incredible Hulk, Partridge Family, and Bionic Woman - while my mother had artistic talent too as a freelance technical medical drawing artist. They were both first generation Americans from European Immigrants who came to America to escape Nazi rule in WWII. Guess you could say that I'm from a long line of creatives, grew up going to art fairs, museums and have been blessed to travel to 27 countries & counting. (+ Malta)
Was born and raised in LA, went to college in SD and spent summers visiting family in New York. As an only child, when my mother grew ill - I began to excel in the arts and sciences winning awards at school. I decided to become an art teacher and studied at SDSU in the early 90s (maybe before you were born - lol) Have friends all over the world and absolutely love love and love all kinds of people which I find comes in handy at weddings! My children say my superpower is the ability to connect & relate to anyone- and its a pleasure! To me- weddings are the most beautiful days and feel blessed to offer this service to my clients. My paintings are always straight from the heart- created out of joy and made with love.
Thank you for your time- I believe in synchronicities and feel you are here for a reason and so glad you found me! Blessings on your journey- as a good friend says "enjoy the ride" & hope to hear from you soon!

Would love to paint for you, your family & friends, not only entertain them but create a unique forever canvas Or watercolor portrait you will forever treasure!
Blessings on your adventure!
-Patti
